I want to go next sunday with the z one last time this year but i want timed runs. I don't think i've ever been to a scc event, do they time only runs or are the clocks off the whole time?

Good luck Elmer. My old Camaro has gone 10.8@127.7 something like that at 3300-3325 raceweight, should go 10.5's or better once the new owner is less afraid of launching harder.
